Q1: An air receiver contains air at 16 bar and 42°C. A valve is opened and some air is allowed to blow out to atmosphere. The pressure of the air in the receiver drops rapidly to 12 bar when the valve is then closed. Assuming that the mass in the receiver undergoes a reversible adiabatic process, calculate the initial and final mass of air if you know that the amount of air which has left the receiver is 18.04 kgs.

A frictionless piston-cylinder assembly initially contains saturated liquid water at a pressure of 200 kPa. Then, 450 kJ of heat transfer occurs from a source with a temperature of 500 0C to water and some of the water evaporates at constant pressure. Show whether this state change is feasible or not by considering the increase of entropy principle.
An ideal gas passes a diffuser. At the diffuser inlet, the temperature is T1 = 350.00 K, the pressure P1 = 100.00 kPa, the velocity V1 = 200.00 m/s, and the inlet area A1 = 0.30 m2. At the exit, the velocity is very small. The specific heat of the ideal gas at the constant pressure is cp = 1.0050 kJ/(kg·K). The gas constant is R = 0.2870 kPa·m3/(kg·K).

Two identical piston-cylinder devices are each filled with 1 kg air at T = 300 K and P = 2 bar. Next, one of the gases undergoes a reversible and isothermal expansion, and the other one expands isentropically. Both of the gases stop expanding when their final volumes reach twice of their initial volumes. [5] a) Sketch both of these processes on the same T-S plot. Indicate the direction of the expansion process on the plot. (No need to express the values for T and S on the plot) [5] b) Sketch both of these processes on the same P-V plot. Indicate the direction of the expansion process on the plot. (No need to express the values for P and V on the plot) [10] c) Calculate the heat transfer between the air and the surrounding for each process separately. show possible interpolations

Consider you have an insulated mixing chamber at steady state. This control volume receives two liquid streams at T1 and T2 (with mass flow rates of ?̇ 1 and ?̇ 2) and delivers a single stream as an output at T3 and ?̇ 3. Use the incompressible substance model (with constant specific heat c), neglect the kinetic and potential energy effects, and obtain an expression for T3 in terms of T2, T1 and ?̇ 1/? ̇3.

Methane is throttled from a saturated liquid at 152.9 K (Stream 1) to 0.464 MPa (Stream 2) where it is a saturated mixture. Assuming methane has a constant Cp of 2.2537 kJ/(kg K), use the Generalized Charts provided on eClass to determine:a) the pressure of Stream 1 (in MPa) and the temperature of Stream 2 (in K)b) the quality of the exit stream in %c) the entropy generation per kg being throttled, in kJ/(kg K)d) the specific volume of the methane in Stream 1, in m3/kgNote: Use the Generalized Charts provided on eClass to solve this problem. You will not be able to use the Charts in the textbook to solve this problem since they do not cover all the regions of the phase diagram.
